CAS, SMP & QCOS Term 4 2011 These Attendance Scores, are a measure of everyone's attendance to compulsory and optional sheep showing events. We should all endeavor to complete all the compulsary scores and some optional scores. Below is a brief description of the 3 types of scores and how they relate to the rankings.

EXPLANATION
The Attendance Scores are a method of ensuring everyone is completing all their necessary tasks. These scores are published at the end of every week. The Attendance Scores then at the end of the week distinguish all members into ranks, these ranks reflect the amount of time each person is putting in, thus meaning we can reward and warn people respectively. The Ranks are as follows in order of attendance.
Senior
Adept
Junior (Adept)
Regular
Junior (Regular)
Junior
Irregular
Inactive Junior
Minimal
Dormant
The Ranks Junior and above signify that the person is completing all desired requirements and some optional ones and all ranks Irregular and below signify that the person has failed to meet these requirements. To attend a show you must have a rank of Junior and above. The Higher your rank the more likely you will be accepted into the ‘selected only shows’. The Ranks are calculated by the following
Senior, CAS Above 16 and QCOS 75 and above
Adept, CAS Above 14 and QCOS 50 and above
Junior (Adept), CAS above 14 and QCOS above 50, as well as classifying as a junior (has been to fewer than 2 shows).
Regular, CAS Above 12.5
Junior (Regular), CAS above 12.5, as well as classifying as a junior (has been to fewer than 2 shows).
Junior, CAS above 10, as well as classifying as a junior (has been to fewer than 2 shows).
Irregular, CAS between 10 and 12.5
Inactive Junior, CAS below 10, as well as classifying as a junior (has been to fewer than 2 shows).
Minimal, CAS below 10
Dormant, not part of the team at this stage, thus not being recorded.
Compulsory Attendance Scores (CAS) CAS is a summary of all compulsory activities. Each activity is scored between 0 and 20. Most often:
20 Double Attenence
15 Attended
12.5 1st Absence of 2 Events, in which the other is present.
10 Explain Absence
0 Absent
These scores are then weighted depending on the event by 1,2 or 3. Thus the score is then multiplied by the weight. Thus then the scores are then divided by the sum of the weights, giving an average. This average should always be above 12.5 The Following are part of the CAS Score and their weights are also displayed.
Meetings (1)
Feeding (1)
Sheep Check (1)
Field Days (3)
Individual Head Analysis (2)
Preparation Days (2)
Principal Sheep Duties Monthly (2)
Flock Responsibilities (1)
Compulsory Activity Units -U4- (2)
Sheep Merit Points (SMP) SMP is an accumulative Score displaying the sum of all your compulsory and optional scores. These are scored as follows 5-60 Attended 0 No Attendance The Attenence Increment is dependent on the event. The following are included in the SMP Calculations All Compulsory Scores Afternoon Sessions (20) Senior Board Meetings (10) Optional Activity Units (30) Additional Preparation Day (40) Weekend/Holiday Feeding (10) And Others
QUARTILE COMPULSORY AND OPTIONAL SCORES (QCOS) The SMP Scores are then recorded and the following statistics are retrieved from the scores Maximum Q3 Median Q1 Minimum Then each SMP Score is placed in the respective quartile, either in the 1st Minimum to Q1 (0-25) 2nd Q1 to Median (25-50) 3rd Median to Q3 (50-75) 4th Q3 to Maximum (75-100) Then the difference between the SMP score and the Q3 if in 4th, Median if in 3rd, Q1 if in 2nd or Minimum if in 1st is recorded as the Quartile Increment. The Quartile Increment is then divided by the range of the Quartile in which Score is within and multiplied by 25. Then the following is also added
0, if in the 1st Quartile
25, if in the 2nd Quartile
50 if in the 3rd Quartile
75 if in the 4th Quartile
Thus this gives a score between 0-100 representing the QCOS, the QCOS is only used in higher scores (Adept and senior), and is a way of summarising the Compulsory and Optional Scores and ranking them accordingly. Thus a QCOS above 50 means you are in the top most proficient half of the team.
PERCENTAGE COMPULSARY AND OPTIONAL SCORES (PCOS) PCOS is rarely used; however it may sometimes moderate the QCOS Scores. PCOS is calculated by the SMP Score divided by the Maxim mum, then multiplied by 100.

And Others
QUARTILE COMPULSORY AND OPTIONAL SCORES (QCOS)
The SMP Scores are then recorded and the following statistics are retrieved from the scores
Maximum
Q3
Median
Q1
Minimum
Then each SMP Score is placed in the respective quartile, either in the
1st Minimum to Q1 (0-25)
2nd Q1 to Median (25-50)
3rd Median to Q3 (50-75)
4th Q3 to Maximum (75-100)
Then the difference between the SMP score and the Q3 if in 4th, Median if in 3rd, Q1 if in 2nd or Minimum if in 1st is recorded as the Quartile Increment. The Quartile Increment is then divided by the range of the Quartile in which Score is within and multiplied by 25. Then the following is also added
- 0, if in the 1st Quartile
- 25, if in the 2nd Quartile
- 50 if in the 3rd Quartile
- 75 if in the 4th Quartile
Thus this gives a score between 0-100 representing the QCOS, the QCOS is only used in higher scores (Adept and senior), and is a way of summarising the Compulsory and Optional Scores and ranking them accordingly. Thus a QCOS above 50 means you are in the top most proficient half of the team.PERCENTAGE COMPULSARY AND OPTIONAL SCORES (PCOS)
